Are you sure about this? Or did they just move a law that will get struck down in a month or so by their supreme court?

PIERRE, South Dakota (AP) -- Governor Mike Rounds on Monday signed legislation banning almost all abortions in South Dakota.
The Legislature passed the ban late last month, focusing nationwide interest on Rounds as he decided what to do about the measure.
It was designed as a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States.
The legislation, scheduled to take effect July 1, says doctors in South Dakota will face up to five years in prison for performing an abortion. The only exception is for women who need abortions to save their lives.
Rounds issued a technical veto of a similar measure two years ago because it would have wiped out all existing restrictions on abortion while the bill was tied up for years in a court challenge.
South Dakota Planned Parenthood said it planned a quick court challenge.

Under the new law, to take effect July 1, doctors in South Dakota will face up to five years in prison if they perform an abortion unless they can show the procedure is necessary to save the woman’s life.

...if it makes it to the Supreme Court don't be so sure that it'll get struck down.
Mississippi Governer is considering doing the same thing.
They want the ruling to be challenged in the Supreme Court, as with the appointment of Alito to replace Sandra Day Connor on the SC, this gives religious conservatives probably the best chance to defeat Roe vs. Wade since it was implemented.

Miniature American flags for all!
While definitely some people want abortions deemed illegal, a lot of campaigners against Roe vs. Wade in the States are anti it because it altered the US constitution (it said stopping abortions violated a constitutional right to privacy) when it was passed. Opposition to Roe comes primarily from those who viewed the Court's decision as illegitimate for straying too far from the text and history of the Constitution in addition to the Religious parties who classify it as murder.
The people arguing it from the anti-constitutional angle want Roe vs. Wade to be overturned and the situation reversed to what it was before the ruling. Where it was upto individual states to allow abortions. They aren't anti-abortions per se, although being on the same side as Religious people who deem it as murder for 30+ years means the lines have probably become blurred over the years.

The state's supreme court will strike it down. Every few months it seems that another state legislature is passing laws like these to pay lipservice to the prolifers, with full knowledge that it will not pass.

hiow low does voter turnout have to get before you can question legitimation of a government?? [it had dipped below the 50 % mark in the 1996 election and it is now just slightly above 50 percent]

i wont even state if i'm for it or against it, but I agree the descision to abort [or not to abort] is a personal one, and thus I will oppose any law banning abortion.
If in the event Roe vs. Wade was overturned, it will just create an abortion tourism industry in the States. Like it was before.
NYC is the abortion capital of the States and would never repeal the right to access one.

That would be my personal view on the subject. That it should be an individual right without any Govt. influence. However, if in order to guarantee that right, you need the influence of the govt. in the first place, it creates a legal loophole that people will argue against.
On the other end of the spectrum, some nut bar Dutch Politician wanted mandatory abortions in certain Dutch colonies last week as it would reduce crime in her view.
